I absolutely loved my experience at Pasta Garage in Lexington. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a cool, laid-back vibe that makes it perfect for a casual night out. The pasta was incredibly fresh and full of flavor — you can really taste the quality in every bite. Everything came out hot, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It’s easily one of my favorite spots in Lexington, and I’ll definitely be back.

The food was decent, but definitely cheap pasta for a reason. I ordered the Chicken Cacciatore and it was $16. I personally would’ve only paid like $13 for it. I tried the other meals of the people at my table and none were BAD, but definitely nothing special. Just pretty middle of the road, and 3 of 4 pastas we all felt were very lacking in flavor.
The GARLIC BREAD was AMAZING. We all raved about it. We also ordered the Caprese Gnocchi appetizer, which we agreed was a fun addition to the meal. The pasta took 25 mins, which was not too bad, but just felt like we had waited a lot longer than it was worth in our opinion. Additionally, the LaMarca prosecco my grandmother ordered was $13 for a glass, which is disappointing since LaMarca is usually about $15 for an entire bottle, and $13 is not how a glass of LaMarca should be priced at a restaurant that isn’t necessarily a fancy restaurant.
In summary, it’s not bad, but I won’t probably ever go again and there are other places I would recommend over this.

Overall a 2/5 dining experience.
The person taking the order was not friendly or welcoming. It took 30 minutes for my appetizer to arrive. The spinach dip was good but the chips were rock hard. The scampi took an hour from ordering to arrive and was bland and had more random vegetables than pasta. They also left the tails on the shrimp.
In total I waited over an hour and a half for spinach dip, a salad, and a pasta dish. I could see that the issue was that there were five workers crowding the kitchen with only one, MAYBE two actually doing something while the others stood around talking amongst themselves. Not worth the $40.

Quick, fresh, and delicious! Stopped on a roadtrip and got a little worried going off the beaten path in the dark through a neighborhood but then there it was! You order and pickup at the counter which accounts for the good prices. Would come back just for the Cacio e Pepe which was the best I ever had. Cheese breadsticks were fun for our fam of 6. Side salad nice for $4. Will come back when on the same route.

Atmosphere and service are good. No complaints there. We ordered the lasagna and the spaghetti and meatball. The spaghetti was so watery, it was like a soup on the bottom. The flavor was good, but it turned out looking like V8 juice by the time we left. The meatball was also very tough. I went to cut into it to break it up, and I was actually scared it was still frozen that’s how hard it was. My girlfriend ordered the lasagna and it was also very tough and hard. We didn’t eat the majority of it bc it just wasn’t good.

I recently visited Pasta Garage with my lady friend, and overall we had a really good time. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made the experience even better — super friendly, attentive, and quick with everything we needed.
The food itself was solid, but not mind-blowing. We tried a few dishes, including the chicken alfredo and spaghetti with marinara. The portions were generous and everything looked great, but the flavors didn’t quite reach the level we were hoping for — good, just not outstanding. I’d give the food 3 stars.
Service, on the other hand, was excellent from start to finish. Definitely 5 stars there. The ambiance also deserves 5 stars, with a cozy, relaxed vibe that made the meal feel special.
My only real complaint: the plastic Solo cups. With how nice everything else feels, real glasses would make the dining experience even better and more upscale.
Overall, Pasta Garage is worth a visit for the atmosphere and service alone, and with a few small tweaks, it could easily be a standout spot.

We are staying at a hotel in Lexington. I got a craving for lasagna. Since we aren’t from here (Lexington), I googled “best lasagna in Lexington”. The pasta garage had the best reviews. I ordered lasagna and a side of Fried Lasagna. My husband ordered fettuccine alfredo and a side of cheesy breadsticks. My husband was not crazy about the fettuccine he said it was too dry. My fried lasagna was , but the lasagna was not. I was so hard to chew. The bottom 2 layers of lasagna noodles were so tough, I felt like I was chewing on leather. I only ate one small bite of the lasagna, so I got a to-go box to take back to the hotel. The next day I heated it up, because it is usually better the second day. Well…..this one was not.
I cannot recommend this place. Our dinner was about $60.00 just for him and I (no alcohol). I think that’s crazy since both of our entrees were tossed in the circular file (garbage).

Quaint little place. Food was off the hook. I had the cypress gnocchi as an appetizer and chicken fettuccine as main meal. Both were fantastic. I got so into the gnocchi that I almost forgot to take a photo.

I absolutely love Pasta Garage and make an effort to stop by anytime I’m in Lexington. I’ve enjoyed every dish I’ve tried and the food usually comes up quickly. My only complaint is that the staff, in my experience, isn’t super friendly or welcoming.

We love the Pasta Garage. We started with the Caprese Gnocchi and we got the lasagna and the carbonara which are both delicious. When we go back I’m hoping to get the caprese gnocchi as a full dish instead of just an appetizer. We finished the evening with some of the gelato and we highly recommend the tiramisu flavor. Overall it was a good evening. The portions are pretty small for the price but I’m not mad since everything was so good and locally sourced.
